“I’m going to be 40……someday…” (Meg Ryan, When Harry met Sally) I am actually fine with turning 40 this summer. I have never really felt that my age has ever stopped me from doing things…and I will continue to believe that. 40 is the new 26 and holding…am I right??? I feel blessed everyday…to be married to my best … [Read more...]
I had this toy. It was a mini replica of the Sesame Street set. I can picture it perfectly. It opened and reveal all the “apartments” inside…in the center there was a small chalkboard. Ernie and Bert’s apartment, Big Bird’s, Gordon and Susan’s… I believe it was made by Fisher Price. There were little people too…you could put them on … [Read more...]
There's a horse race today. Did you know that? It is really quick…like two minutes. But it sure is a fun two minutes. We tend to enjoy watching the Derby on TV instead of attending….but it is such a fun atmosphere in Louisville during Derby week. Here is a picture from a few years back… My father in law had a winner that day….(no, … [Read more...]
I think it is kind of rare…for your best friend to have been your first friend. My “sister-from-another-motha” was my very first friend. Literally, our moms were good friends and neighbors before we were born. So technically, we were buddies while in utero. But just because parents are friends….doesn’t always mean their kids will be … [Read more...]
Pretty sure I am the only blogger in all the land without a Silhouette machine. I am cool with that. I have a feeling it would frustrate me….and I don’t need any more craft-frustrations. There is really no feeling better than when another outside observant adult like a teacher comments about your child…describing them as “mannered, kind … [Read more...]

Ok....the buildings are equally as cool.... And the beach.....and the roads..... Finding beauty all around me...:) … [Read more...]

It is a bit scary….promise to remember me when I come back, mmkay?!?! While I am gone…feel free to make yourself at home in the Project Gallery….or maybe review my … [Read more...]
So ready to soak in a bit of sun soon…this winter is taking forever to leave!!! I have used this list ever since my kiddos were little. Is has changes and adapted every year…but it is a great reference for packing a family up for vacation. I usually place a couple of large shopping bags in my dining room a couple weeks prior to leaving. … [Read more...]
I started this funny name game on Facebook the other night….the names are still making me laugh. You think of the name of your first childhood pet, and the name of the first street you ever remember living on as a child. Put them together and you have your “movie star” name (keepin it clean people ;) So have a laugh….then tell me what your … [Read more...]
My kids recently were of “legal” age to join the popular social network we all know called Facebook. After getting them all signed up and ready to go….there were a few rules I wanted to be sure they learned from the start. It can be tricky….and there is a learning curve…but we wanted to give them a few guidelines to follow. Even social … [Read more...]
